Forced to die for his loyalty, he was reborn in the arms of the cold and cruel regent!

"Mom!" Li Junfeng exclaimed and hurriedly chased after her, trying to stop her, but it was too late.

Zhu used all her strength to bang on the door of the Princess's Mansion, crying and shouting, "Shen Mengyao, come out! You watched someone die without saving her. Aren't you afraid of retribution? I, Zhu, am sitting here today. If you don't save her, I will die in front of your Princess's Mansion and let the world see you as a woman with a vicious heart!"

Her voice was sharp and shrill, causing another uproar among the people around. Li Junfeng wanted to go forward and hold his mother, but found that he could not move. He could only watch his mother use up her last bit of strength to perform this farce in front of the Princess's Mansion.

Inside the mansion, Shen Mengyao sat in the study. She picked up a string of exquisite prayer beads and played with them slowly, with a faint sneer on her lips.

Cuiwei, however, listened to the vague noise outside and said worriedly: "Princess, are you really not going to care? Rumors will inevitably spread in the capital by then. If she gets the upper hand, it will be even more difficult for us to move forward."

She had already expected that Zhu would not give up easily, but she was also prepared to deal with it.

She, Shen Mengyao, has never been a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others.

"Cuiwei, ask your servants to find the charity cemetery to collect the bodies." Shen Mengyao's voice was calm and cold, as if everything was under her control.

Cuiwei was stunned: "Princess, if they really die, the public opinion outside may not be good."

Having lived for two lifetimes, no one could understand the Li family better than her.

Zhu was afraid of death and had a pipe dream, hoping that Li Junfeng could rise to a high position. This had not changed until today. How could he easily accept death?

She just wanted to tell them that it was useless to make a fuss. Even if she was criticized, the only thing she could do was to collect their bodies!

"They won't die."

Cuiwei understood: "Princess, I'll go right away."

The body collector from the charity cemetery came and looked around and asked, "Where is the body?"

The servant coughed and pointed at Zhu who was sitting under the stone lion: "When she dies, collect her body immediately. My princess said that this is the duty of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

Yi Zhuang was stunned. It was the first time he did this kind of business and he really didn't expect it.

But considering the large amount of money, he simply parked the coffin and sat there waiting!

The strange atmosphere made Zhu unable to hold on any longer. She started coughing violently, and her chest made a sound like wind blowing through a ruined temple.

Zhu's shouting and cursing gradually weakened, and after a long time she was out of breath, Li Junfeng finally plucked up the courage and went forward to help his mother up. Her face was full of fatigue and unwillingness, but the fierceness in her eyes had not diminished in the slightest.

"She is so cruel, so cruel!"

Although the discussions around did not stop, there was more ridicule and disdain for Zhu's behavior.

"Mom, let's go back." Li Junfeng's voice was pleading. He knew very well that if they continued to make a fuss like this, there would not be enough people to lose, and not only would it be of no help, it would also make his mother's health worse.

Zhu glared at the tightly closed door of the Princess's Mansion with hatred, but finally nodded and staggered away with the help of her son. The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, leaving only discussions and a few sneers on the ground.

In the Princess's Mansion, Shen Mengyao was still sitting in the study, gently turning the rosary in her hand with a faint smile on her face. She seemed to be able to foresee the outcome of all this and had already taken into account all possible changes.

Cuiwei walked in quickly: "It's so refreshing. They are just like mice, running away with their tails between their legs."

Shen Mengyao shook her head calmly: "Okay, let's not talk about these unpleasant things. We should go to Shuiyunjian now. We have delayed this afternoon's work."

Cuiwei nodded with a smile on her face.

The news spread quickly in the capital, especially Qi Suian was particularly concerned about the movements in the Princess's Mansion.

He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Really?"

Bei Lan nodded heavily: "Of course, Your Majesty, you don't know that the princess's words are well-founded and people around her dare not say anything nonsense. Zhu was really miserable. She begged bitterly and finally passed away with her sick body."

Qi Sui'an couldn't hide the smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

It seems that Shen Mengyao really doesn't care about the Li family anymore.

Now she is thriving and getting rid of the shadow of the past, which is something I am happy to see.

Bei Lan was also shocked when she saw his expression: "My Lord, is this so joyful?"

Qi Sui'an suppressed his smile and said, "I'm not happy."

"Since Your Majesty is so happy that the princess has cut off her past, why don't you take advantage of the opportunity and capture the princess."

Although this statement is rough, it makes sense.

Qi Sui'an just glanced at him coldly: "Stop talking too much."

Bei Lan pulled the corner of his mouth. He was just too curious about what it would be like for the regent who was so powerful in the capital to fall in love with someone. Since he had been following him, he rarely saw him smile.

Qi Sui'an narrowed his eyes and thought, let things take their own course and don't rush into things.

However, he wanted to go to Shuiyunjian.

"Bei Lan, find someone you don't know and go to Shuiyunjian to book a private room for me."

Bei Lan, who was originally dejected, brightened up when he heard this: "Yes, Your Majesty."

As the person left, Qi Sui'an's frozen face cracked a little and revealed a smile. He stroked the jade flute with a deep smile.

The weather is really nice today, and the singing of birds in the trees is particularly pleasant. No wonder people are so happy.

Bei Lan sent back a message that Shuiyunjian was full and there were no private rooms left.

He was a little surprised. It was said that the opening period of the discount had passed, and the turnover should have dropped a little. Why was it still so popular? In a good mood, plus wanting to find out what was going on, he decided to go directly.

With Queyue's help, he entered Shuiyunjian from the back door. The lotus flowers in the backyard had already grown tender green leaves, which looked very cute and quite interesting.

Seeing him absorbed in the scene, Queyue smiled and said, "Your Highness, you may not guess that these lotus flowers were planted by the princess herself."

Qi Sui'an's eyelids twitched slightly: "Really? She really isn't afraid of hardship."

"I also thought that the princess was pampered, but I didn't expect that since the restaurant opened, she has been staying in the restaurant day and night, working tirelessly and offering advice. Her seriousness is really admirable." Queyue praised with admiration.

"It would be nice if you could say that to my face." Shen Mengyao joked. She knew Qi Sui'an was coming, so she immediately came over to greet him: "Your Highness has arrived. I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar."

"I didn't mean to alarm you." Qi Sui'an looked around and said, "There are so many customers recently. What method did you use?"

"Delicious taste is the foundation of a restaurant. In addition, there are many people who buy into this promotion where you can redeem another dish by eating eight dishes of pickled pork with preserved vegetables." Shen Mengyao raised her eyebrows and said with a proud chuckle.
